I've gotta ask

I actually saw a carp backed bow sunday, I was in love. I want to for sure, It's just a matter of getting my carcass out of bed at a decent time. I usually am out of bed by about 6 on weekends, not lately.

JoJoDapyro:
I went tonight to find some Carp for meat and backing. No fish, all I saw was a bull frog. I did though find a new fishing hole. Walking along through the river I found a 8 foot deep hole. From knee deep, to 8 feet in a step. More than likely ruined my e-smoke, so there is $80 down the river. Luckily I had my phone in a ziplock bag. I keep the e-smoke in a top pouch of my camel back, but that went under right before my head did. Mostly the river is about 2 or 3 feet where I fish. To say the least it was a shock.

Buckeye Guy:
Ya you need to ask the old t imers where the swimming holes are before you go trapsing down the river !
Carp in cold water is about tbe same as most fish, as the waters warm up it gets a bit soft thats when you fix it up like salmon from the can , if you can eat that salmon that comes in a can you will love carp
as for the cats good stuff for sure , till I had some fixed  by a trottline fisherman
he ruined  me on cats purty much served it up raw, hit the grease flip it over and hit the plate thats the way be loved it  took him less time to cook it than you did to read it!
to each his own I reckon but sure fixed me !

JoJoDapyro:
The funny part is, is that I grew up on that river. It moves a lot, even from one year to another. The ground is all clay, so in high years the river may move 50 feet. My old good hole is gone. Army corps of engineers came this last winter and took the S out of the river and made it straight, and killed my favorite carp hole.

Even little old Rapid Creek in the Black Hills is ever-changing.  I used to have a honey hole  I called "Brownsville Station".  You could count on hitting at least three of four brown trout from this tree overhung cutbank.  At least one would be 16 inches or bigger.  It was a great spot.  Now it is a shallow gravel filled riffle when it was once 5 ft deep. 

I am trying a new catfish hole tomorrow nite.  This one is on private land and the landowner says he has not allowed anyone to fish that stretch for several years.  The nearest public access is over 6 river miles away.  I am quivering with excitement!
